What connections does American Legion Baseball have to Santa Claus?

The Hoosier Express Legion Baseball team is associated with Post 242 in Santa Claus, Ind. Team manager Jay Burch – athletic director at Heritage Hills High School in Lincoln City, who himself played Legion ball for the Newburgh team – says the team has been around for several years. At first put together by a coalition of three nearby posts, it is more associated with Santa Claus today.
